    Ep 29:The Hail Mary Murder, a Drug Kingpin’s Threat, and When Judges Don’t Honor Deals W Andy Blair

    On this episode of You’re Free to Go, hosts Guy Fronstin and Marc Nurik welcome Guy’s longtime friend and powerhouse criminal defense attorney Andy Blair (NY/NJ), a trial lawyer with 35 years in the trenches and a reputation for relentless advocacy.Andy shares how he went from thinking he’d become a U.S. Attorney to dedicating his life to defending the accused—thanks to a pivotal introduction through his grandfather (a New Jersey Supreme Court justice) and early mentorship under legendary defense attorney Miles Feinstein.Then the episode takes off into jaw-dropping “crazy-ass case” territory: • A notorious juvenile murder case known as the “Hail Mary” murder—where Andy races to stop an interrogation and negotiates cooperation before charges are even filed • A high-stakes federal case involving a drug trafficking conspiracy, a rejected five-year plea offer, and a chilling twist: a credible threat on Andy’s life that led to him carrying a gun • A tragic story tied to organized crime culture, the meaning of being “made,” and how quickly consequences can arrive • A deep discussion on when lawyers decline cases (terrorism/national security, child-related crimes), the moral weight of the work, and why constitutional protections matter • How judges and jury pressure can lead to compromise verdicts, plus a wild example of a client who fled the country mid-deliberations to avoid a catastrophic outcomeIt’s part war stories, part courtroom reality, and part behind-the-scenes look at what criminal defense is actually like when the stakes are freedom, safety, and the power of the government.You’re Free to Go is sponsored by Milburn Men’s Clothing, Lang Realty, Download Investigations, and Podcast Junkeez Studios.(Disclaimer: The views expressed are opinions and experiences of the hosts and guest.

    Ep 28: Juvenile Sex Battery Case, Media Strategy & “Murder on the High Seas” | You’re Free To Go

    In this episode of You’re Free To Go, Guy Fronstin and Marc Nurik record from Boca Raton at Podcast Junkeez (with Ben engineering) and share an unexpected win: more young listeners are tuning in, with some families even making it a Friday tradition. With that comes an important note—this episode includes R-rated, sensitive criminal law topics, so parents should preview before kids listen.Guy and Marc first unpack a disturbing, high-profile case involving juvenile defendants facing serious sexual battery charges, explaining how these cases are prosecuted, how intoxication can affect consent, and why representing multiple co-defendants is usually a bad idea. They also dive into the strategic side of criminal defense—handling media attention the right way, communicating carefully with victims’ families, and navigating ethics complications when a client’s parents are in the middle of a divorce.Then it’s time for a wild federal case: “Murder on the High Seas.” Two brothers allegedly steal a yacht during a sea trial, kill the broker, and dump him overboard—leading to a jurisdiction fight over the three-mile marker and whether the feds can prosecute. Guy and Marc explain how expert testimony can decide a case, why talking to law enforcement can wreck a defense, and the risks of putting a defendant on the stand.Sponsored by Milburn Men’s Clothing, Lang Realty, and Down Low Investigations.(As always: this show shares experiences and opinions—not legal advice—and identifying details may be changed to protect confidentiality.)

    Ep 27: Good People Can Have a Bad Day: Jerome Peel’s Story

    In this powerful episode of You’re Free To Go, hosts Mark Nurik and Guy Fronstin sit down with former client Jerome Peel to tell a story that perfectly captures the show’s core belief: good people can have a bad day. Jerome joins the podcast from New York to reflect on a tragic 2008 car accident in Palm Beach County that resulted in a fatality and led to vehicular homicide and reckless driving charges—despite no drugs or alcohol being involved. He walks listeners through the crash itself, the investigation, and how a traffic incident quickly became a criminal prosecution with life-altering consequences. Guy Fronstin breaks down the legal process, including a full jury trial that ended in a hung jury (5 not guilty, 1 guilty), followed by a plea agreement and 10 years of probation, which included the extraordinary requirement of serving a weekend in jail on the anniversary of the accident for five consecutive years. Jerome shares what probation was really like, how violations can derail education and opportunity, and how the label of “felon” follows you long after a case is over. The episode also explores redemption and resilience. Jerome explains how being shut out of traditional employment pushed him toward entrepreneurship, ultimately leading to a successful clothing brand, international travel for work, and a renewed sense of purpose. He also opens up about the deeply personal steps he took to honor the victim, maintain a memorial at the crash site, and eventually find a path toward communication and healing with the victim’s family. This episode is an honest, emotional, and educational look at tragedy, accountability, the criminal justice system, and what it truly takes to rebuild a life after one devastating moment.

    Ep 26: The Boca Mall Cold Case: When “Suspicion” Becomes a Life Sentence

    In this episode of You’re Free To Go, attorneys Guy Fronstin and Mark Nurik dig into a haunting Boca Raton case that’s technically “cold,” but still very much alive. It starts with a 2007 abduction from Town Center at Boca Raton, a forced ATM withdrawal near a local elementary school, and a murder that should’ve been solved—except key surveillance footage was compromised, leads went sideways, and investigators locked in on the husband early. Even after alibis, dead-end searches, and years of zero charges, the suspicion never fully let go. Guy walks through how tunnel vision can derail an investigation, the stark difference between state vs. federal timelines, and the very real cost of “being a suspect” in the media for nearly two decades. Plus: an eerily similar second attack, a joint task force, alleged pressure tactics, and the strange recurring calls about “the floppy hat guy” that keep the case from ever feeling over.

    Ep 25: Excessive Force, False Arrest & Body Cams: What the Public Should Know

    In this episode of You’re Free to Go, Guy is in-studio at Podcast Junkies in Boca Raton while Mark checks in from L.A.—and they kick off a brand-new four-part non-client guest series with a timely, high-impact conversation on police misconduct and use of force.They’re joined by Attorney Oscar Seiger, whose practice focuses on civil rights cases involving false arrest, excessive force, and government misconduct. Oscar breaks down what the Constitution actually protects in real life: your right to record police, your free speech rights when witnessing an incident, and how body cam footage (and missing footage) can make or break a case.You’ll hear practical guidance for everyday situations—like what to do if you’re filming a police encounter, how to avoid getting hit with “interference” allegations, and why “just fleeing” (without a threat) shouldn’t justify deadly force. They also unpack the difference between probable cause vs. guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, why false arrest claims can be harder than people think, and how civil lawsuits work after a criminal case ends (including caps, immunity, and damages).Educational, real-world, and packed with courtroom perspective—this is one of those episodes you’ll want saved before you ever need it.Sponsors: Milburn Men’s Clothing • Lang Realty • Down Low Investigations

    Ep 24: When Good People Get Arrested: Sidewalk Crimes, Perp Walks & One Bad Decision

    In this episode of Your Free to Go, Guy and Mark dive into two unforgettable stories that prove how easily ordinary people, and even judges, can find themselves tangled in the criminal justice system.First, a trio of highly respected professionals, a CEO and two Ivy League doctors, are arrested on 9/11 for the unthinkable crime of riding their bicycles on a sidewalk near the beach. What follows is a lesson in police discretion, public pressure, perp walks, and how timing and location can turn an innocent Sunday routine into a legal nightmare… with a hilarious twist at the end.Then, the conversation turns serious as Guy recounts a case involving a sitting judge on the brink of a federal appointment whose single lapse in judgment transforms him overnight from nominee to criminal defendant. The story exposes how civil disputes can morph into criminal investigations, how prosecutors leverage civil litigation, and why early legal intervention matters.Along the way, Guy and Mark break down: • Why innocent conduct can still lead to arrest • How cases can be killed before charges are ever filed • The dangerous overlap between civil litigation and criminal exposure • Why even “good people” can make life-altering mistakesEqual parts cautionary tale, legal education, and dark humor, this episode is a reminder that in the wrong place at the wrong time, anyone can end up hearing the words: “You’re under arrest.”
